'Virunga' director shares how Oscar-nominated film evolved from a nature documentary
The original plan was to shoot a nature documentary in the Virunga National Park in the Eastern Congo, looking at the good progress that park officials had made in encouraging tourism and development in the area.
But the film that writer, director, and producer Orlando von Einsiedel ultimately created, was anything but your typical nature documentary.
“Virunga” writer, producer, and director Orlando von Einsiedel joins AirTalk to share the stories of the caretakers he met, the conflict he unearthed, and the majestic mountain gorillas that roam Virunga National Park.
Guest:
Orlando von Einsiedel , writer, director, and producer of the Oscar-nominated documentary “Virunga.”
